When Yun Sheng smelled the fragrance of the rouge, she immediately became alert.
This was not an ordinary rouge fragrance, but a kind of knockout powder with a knockout effect.
As expected, this Chen Lian'er was up to no good.
Not long after the knockout powder drifted over, Chen Lian'er probed, "Miss Yun, you seem to be very close to Duke Beiming? How did you two meet? "
Yun Sheng snorted vaguely.
"Lord Beiming, the Crown Prince, and I were childhood sweethearts. He was very good to me back then," Chen Lian 'er rambled on. It was nothing more than what had happened in the Great Zhou Palace when they were young.
Chen Lian'er only stopped when she heard a series of even breathing from Yun Sheng's side.
"Miss, she's asleep," Chen Lian'er's maidservant asked.
"It can't be wrong. If there's no antidote, a normal person only needs to smell a little of this knockout powder to faint. Lowly woman, how dare she try to steal my man. "Chen Lian'er glared fiercely at Yun Sheng, the gentleness from the day long gone.
The master and maidservant took advantage of the time when Yun Sheng was asleep to rummage through Yun Sheng's clothes.
"Miss, the powder that Master Wu said can attract magical beasts. As long as we sprinkle it on this woman, she definitely won't be able to escape tomorrow." There was the sound of clothes rustling.
"Yawn." Chen Lian'er felt a gust of cold wind and couldn't help but sneeze.
"Put down the tent flap properly. Where did the cold wind come from?" Chen Lian'er was puzzled.
The maidservant was also confused. She had checked all the doors and windows of the tent. Where did the cold wind come from?
The two of them looked in the direction of Yun Sheng. She was still lying down. The two of them didn't notice that the magic scepter under Yun Sheng's body had strangely lit up when the cold wind blew.
At dawn, Yun Sheng stretched herself comfortably. "I slept so well last night. I didn't even know when you came in."
Chen Lian'er smiled guiltily. She watched as Yun Sheng changed into the clothes on the side, and a sinister smile flashed across her eyes.
After exiting the tent, Yun Sheng saw Ye Beiming standing outside with dark circles under his eyes. Qi didn't look too good either.
After Zhou Quan reorganized the troops, he dismantled the tents, reorganized the formation, and continued forward.
After passing through the relatively flat plains, the Hunting Corps quickly entered Zhou State, the rather famous Huang Dang Waterfall area.
There were many rivers in the Huang Dang Waterfall area, and there was an amazing waterfall at the mouth of the river.
Zhou Quan had already explained to everyone on the way that if they wanted to head to the Sunset Wetlands, they had to first cross the Yellow Dangwaterfall area.
The water in this area was turbulent, and there were many Water Arrowfin Fish at the bottom of the river. The Water Arrowfin Fish was a fourth-grade magic beast, and their king had even reached the fifth or sixth grade. Even though they weren't high level magic beasts, they liked to move in groups. They also had wings and could jump out of the water at any time.
The teeth of the fish were highly poisonous. Once it touched a wound, it would cause the skin and flesh to fester.
The Water Arrowfin Fish also liked to move in groups, and there could be thousands or even hundreds of them when they moved.
But Zhou Quan also reminded everyone that there was no need to panic. The Water Arrowfin Fish usually wouldn't attack people of their own accord.
Zhou Quan's hometown was near the Huang Dang Waterfall. He hadn't arrived yet, but he had already ordered people to prepare a raft in the Huang Dang Waterfall area for everyone to cross the river.
"Everyone, don't panic. When you are on the boat, don't make a racket. Five people to a bamboo raft." Zhou Quan arranged for everyone to cross the river one by one.
"Miss Yun, that boat still has three empty spots. Why don't we share a boat with him?" Chen Lian'er smiled as she pulled Yun Sheng's hand. Those who didn't know would think that they were very close.
Seeing this, Ye Beiming had just taken a step forward when he heard Yun Sheng say, "Five people to a boat. Wang ye, you should move to another boat?"
Ye Beiming glanced at Yun Sheng. Seeing her bright smile, and then looking at Chen Lian'er and her servants on the same boat, he thought that something wasn't right.
He didn't ask any more questions and boarded another bamboo raft. But from the corner of his eye, he kept looking at the bamboo raft that Yun Sheng was on.
The boat entered the center of the river. Due to the rapid current, the bamboo raft kept spinning in place.
Even though this area wasn't very scenic, there were many mountains on both sides of the river. It was a good place to enjoy the scenery.
A gentle river breeze blew. Everyone was attracted by the spectacular scenery of the river.
Ever since Chen Lian'er boarded the bamboo raft, she had been calculating how to start her plan for today.
She paid attention to the bamboo rafts around her. Ye Beiming and the others were clearly attracted by the scenery of the river. No one paid attention to her bamboo raft.
The people on the bamboo raft were all her trusted aides.
Looking at Yun Sheng, she also had an intoxicated expression on her face as she admired the riverside scenery.
I'll let you be at ease for a while longer. Later, you'll lose your life to the beasts.
"Miss Yun, look at the center of the river. There seems to be something there." Chen Lian'er suddenly spoke and pointed at a whirlpool in the center of the river.
"What? Why can't I see it clearly? "Yun Sheng followed Chen Lian'er's finger and looked.
Chen Lian'er gave her maid a look, and the maid immediately understood. She raised her hand and pushed Yun Sheng's back with all her might.
But just as her hand was about to touch Yun Sheng's back, the Yun Sheng in front of her suddenly disappeared.
The servant's hand missed and she staggered towards the surface of the river.
"Aiya, someone fell into the water." Yun Sheng, who had used the Earth Escape Technique to dodge, shouted strangely.
Chen Lian'er was shocked. A splash of water appeared on the surface of the river.
Chen Lian'er's servant sank into the water.
Hearing the shout, the other people on the bamboo raft all looked over.
"Don't panic. The Water Arrow Fin Fish won't attack people. Use the rope and think of a way to save her!" Zhou Quan furrowed his brows and secretly blamed Chen Lian'er for not keeping a good eye on her servants.
But not long after Zhou Quan spoke, circular ripples appeared on the surface of the river.
"Not good! It's the Water Arrow Fin Fish. "Zhou Quan recognized the backs of the fish.
Hundreds of Water Arrow Fin Fish suddenly appeared on the surface of the river where there was no school of fish. Each fish was half a meter long, and they tore the servant to shreds in an instant.
On the surface of the river, there were only bloody bubbles left.
Chen Lian'er had never seen such a scene. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
What was worse was that the smell of blood might have stimulated the school of fish. The school of Water Arrow Fin Fish turned around and swam towards the bamboo raft where Yun Sheng and the others were.
"How can this be? Don't come over." Chen Lian'er was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly took out her magic scepter and launched a series of water magic at the Water Arrow Fin Fish.
"Aiya, Miss Chen, it's so scary. There are so many fish." Yun Sheng seemed to be scared out of her wits. She grabbed Chen Lian'er's hand.
Chen Lian'er felt a sudden numbness on her wrist, as if she had been bitten by a mosquito. The magic scepter in her hand fell into the water with a plop.
